I've now read three DC Latinx Superhero collections: Green Lantern (Jessica Cruz), Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), and Vibe (Francisco Ramon). This one actually incorporated Spanish a few times and was one of the more interesting stories. Perhaps because it dealt with the origin story right off the bat and had a brotherly relationship as the center piece of the narrative. My biggest concern is that these characters are written by (seemingly) non-Latinx authors. That doesn't make them bad, it just doesn't highlight a lot of the cultural components that might be addressed with Latinx authors.

All I knew of Cisco/Vibe was from the DC Nation shorts and the Flash TV series. In both he is presented as fun and loose. If you are expecting that, you're not going to have a great time here. While there are some good character moments, this just wasn't fun.
